hiya guys,
i have recently purchased a Renault Master 2.8 on a 51 reg and to be honest ive had nothing but trouble with it.
the latest problem is with the gearbox firstly i have a whining noise when it goes into fifth gear could it be a bearing ? or something more simple.
secondly i have a whining noise when pulling off in first only in first. ive tested the clutch by putting the hand brake on and trying to pull off and theres no noise, it only makes the noise when the wheels are turning.
i could really do with some advice here
thanks again rich

Hi turley,my fathers got my old master 2.2dci when I bought it originally I too had to put oiut a few hundred pounds to get it right trhen the gearbox packed in too it sounds like you are experiencing the beginning of the end with the gearbox these are really quite prone to bearing failure and its recommended to have them repaired as soon as rather than later as their becoming like hens teeth, mine cost me £450 to have it overhauled but what a difference it made.
